The Ring of Fire
~by: blunder
Howdy Folks. A bit of an announcement; i'm quasi-retiring from the mapping and custom content business. You know how it is; not enough time, definitely not enough motivation, too much RLS... Anyways, my apologies for this, but i'm canceling any maps people had requested and am not taking requests for the foreseeable future. But i'll still be around to answer your mapping and other questions via PM.
I will, however, offer up one final map; my own personal gem. The Ring of Fire is a mashup of the SanFran peninsula, the Bavarian alps, the 3 largest cascade volcanoes (Rainier, Adams, and Shasta), plus a wee little Mt. Jefferson, and is stupidly huge, at 88x120km. Requires 4gb patched game and mapper/terraformer to run, as well as 64-bit OS with 8 gigs ram. (might run at 6 gigs).
I know few people will want to tackle a map that large but i'll put it out there anyways. This map is by no means perfect; there are several little photoshop wrinkles i haven't ironed out that you can see in the terraformer overview but that won't detract in game.
Since it's over 100km on a side i'm invoking Drunkapple's large map mercy rule on not showing a rendered shot.
Instructions:
Mapper frequently performs better with large maps, but terraformer still works too.
1. Unzip folder
2. In mapper > create region > point to .sc4m file and config.bmp selectively.
3. Name and Confirm
4. Save
~Cheers
